Computer optimization of the vertical zone melting method for manufacturing flat ingots of thermoelectric materials based on Ві2Те3
Keywords:
simulation, vertical zone melting, thermoelectric material, bismuth tellurideAbstract
The results of computer simulation of the process of manufacturing flat ingots of thermoelectric materials based on Ві2Те3 by the method of vertical zone melting are presented. The dependences of the crystallization front shape on the geometric dimensions of the heater and coolers, their temperatures, speed of movement and other process parameters are given. Multifactor computer optimization of process modes and equipment design for growing flat ingots of thermoelectric materials based on Ві2Те3 is carried out.
